Emmett Lamp Shades

A new lamp shade transforms a room in an instant, adding visual interest to a scheme with a pop of vibrant colour or intriguing textures. Discover seductive shades for table lamps, ceiling lights and floor lamps in smoked glass and etched metal, slubsilkand wood veneer, pleatedpaperand woven bamboo, together with shades for kitchen pendant lights.

Choosing a lamp shade might sound easy enough, but for some it can be a bit like choosing an outfit for a special occasion. It needs to complement your home décor without being overwhelming and stealing the show from signature furniture pieces like the sofa or bed.

Don’t worry too much about picking the wrong size or having mismatched styles. Trying to find the perfect shade for a table lamp? As a rule, the height of a shade should be roughly two thirds of the height of the base. The width of the shade should be roughly equal to the height of the lamp from base to fitting.

When it comes to styling, you should think about the space. A larger lamp will look better with a prominent sized shade. If it’s too small it can get a little bit lost and fade into the background. Wall lights and spotlights are great advocates for larger spaces if you really need to illuminate a room.
